Collect modes from buffer when Emacs is idle
a68-keywords: add STRUCT and UNION
Fix a68--do-auto-stropping
This mode fully supports automatic indentation and font locking (i.e. syntax highlighting) including the three comment styles.
a68-mode supports only the UPPER stropping style and not the QUOTE or POINT style.
A minor mode a68-pretty-bold-tags-mode is provided that, when active, makes bold tags in the buffer appear in lower case and styled according to the a68-bold-tag-face. This allows to show bold tags as underlined, or bold, or whatever other visual characteristic that can be configured in an Emacs face.
A minor mode a68-auto-stropping-mode is provided that, when active, applies upper stropping automatically as you type, to both keywords and mode indicators defined in the current buffer.
Just put a68-mode.el somewhere in your load-path and require it. Or visit the file with Emacs and M-x package-install-file RET.
The following variables are available for customization:
see M-x customize-group a68 RET for more info.
It doesn't handle well shebangs: #! is taken as the start of the comment up to the next #.
Jose E. Marchesi wrote the first version of a68-mode.el.
At some point someone got a copy of a68-mode.el, renamed it to algol-mode.el and distributed it in github.
Then Omar Polo forked algol-mode.el, renaming it back to a68-mode.el.
Finally at some point Jose decided to ditch his original version and start using and maintain Omar's version instead.
This is that copy.
